BBC Radio 4 - The Archers, 16/07/2020

Harrison bares his soul and Elizabeth takes the next step.

Elizabeth’s happy with Jolene’s three word summary for her online dating profile: ‘sophisticated – quietly wild’. The rest of it needs some minor tweaking but on the whole Jolene’s done a good job. With some trepidation Elizabeth clicks ‘submit’.
Cooped up in his car, Harrison’s nervous about his appearance on Susan’s radio show. He doesn’t want to be awful. He wishes he hadn’t agreed to it, especially with the way Fallon’s feeling about the date night non-event. Once on air he recounts a couple of policing experiences, before moving on to his own personal story, and how he got into his career. His past meant he vowed never to ignore someone in trouble. Kenton listens in incredulity and with some sympathy. He had no idea Harrison had been bullied at school. All his tips suddenly seem irrelevant; Harrison’s way ahead of him and has gone down a storm. Someone’s messaged to suggest applause for Harrison. Kenton’s happy to oblige and make some noise on the Green. As Harrison gives a shout out to his wife, he hears people clapping outside. He realises it’s for him, and that Fallon’s joining in.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
